Dust-Jacket Front Cover art for the second E-novel in the Plate of the Gods trilogy: the Chariot of Souls, written by M.W Bodewes.
ihrett is a world of Magic and Science. A home to Mythical Creatures, Ancient Races and Gods of Legend.
Tomar returns from the Silent Star with renewed purpose and more questions. The architecture of Mihrett must be engaged but does the ancient technology even function anymore? The dragons are destined to join the fight. Will they hear the call to arms? All signs point to 'no'.
The greatest Grimoire ever written may contain the answers they seek.
Retrieving this Magical book will be perilous, there is only one amongst them that can unlock the arcane secrets within its eon worn pages. Help is resurrected from the abysmal depths of Mihrett oceans in the most unexpected form. Tomar no longer works alone on this epic quest, the world wants to be healed and destiny gathers its heroes.
Tomar forges new alliances from the ruins of the old world but where does their allegiance truly lie?
Ageless darkness finally reveals itself making the threat to Mihrett greater than ever.
The illustration emanating from the pages of Plate of the Gods is an enhancement of M.W Bodewes (the authors) own artwork, as is the design amd layout for the books front cover.

Alt t-shirt design for the annual Trasharama agogo short film fest featuring SpineGrrl.
ihrett is a world of Magic, Science and Credence. A home to Mythical Creatures, Ancient Races and Gods of Legend. Generations ago a terrible cataclysm destroyed a grand civilization, over time the survivor's descendants were slowly engulfed by crippling stupidity and greater and greater levels of insanity.
Some legends have the humblest of beginnings. On an isolated plateau a young boy named Tomar led a simple life, yearning for knowledge, hungry for answers to the questions of his world. Unimpaired by the lunacy gripping his neighbours, a series of extraordinary circumstances sets him upon a wholly remarkable journey. His quest would take him to amazing places, forging unlikely alliances along the way whilst enduring the absurdity of a world gone mad. Tomar’s destiny has been commited to the pages of the book before you. Before his epic tale reaches it's final conclusion, there will be wonder and tragedy, pain and redemption...
What secrets to the past does Mihrett still hold? What truths lay dormant... can the Races of Mihrett be saved from themselves? When an ancient evil once again strides this broken landis there any hope for it's peoples? .

Trasharama agogo Short film festival promo poster finished.
We must be ever-vigilant... There are those who believe exposure to images of red food colouring combined with golden syrup and latex pseudo-gore will warp our fragile little minds and stain our souls. I say unto them, PoppyCock! This isn't real (and we all know it) It's entertainment on a grander (Le Théâtre du Grand-Guignol style) scale, to be sure, than the Brotherts Grimm or Shakespeare, Bill. As John Stuart Mill (or Joe Milton) established centuries ago, a free and open marketplace of ideas is the best defence.

Cinematic
Poster Art : Typically
posters include both textual and graphic elements,
although a poster can consist wholly of graphics
or of text. Posters are designed to be both
eye-catching and convey information. Posters may
be used for many purposes. They are a frequent
tool of advertisers (particularly of events,
musicians and films) the Content of this gallery
falls into the film category featuring theatre
release posters, pre
and post production concept posters for the German
(Aug 2012) release of
Bad Behaviour "Bösen Menschen passieren böse
Dinge", the Thai release of Bad
Behaviour (????????
?)and character
playbills.
Stalkher
(Queensland based feature film) Pre-production
Concept Posters as well as theatrical and home
entertainment (DVD cover) artwork are now
viewable.
Props
and Sculptures : The
difference between a set decoration and a prop is
use. If the item is not touched by a performer for
any reason it is simply a set decoration. If it is
touched by the actor in accordance to script
requirements or as deemed by the director, it is a
prop. Prop weapons (such
as handguns,
axes or even a fire
poker) read
well but lack the inherent danger of the 'real'
weapon and are almost always either non-operable
replicas, or have safety features to ensure they
are not dangerous. The increasing popularity of
movie memorabilia (a
broader term that now includes costumes) has added new meaning to the term
"prop," broadening its existence to include a
valuable after-life as a prized collector's item.
Typically not available until after a film's
premiere, movie props appearing on-screen are
christened "screen-used". Sculpture
involves 3-D artwork created by shaping or
combining materials such as stone,
metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic")
materials can also be used, such as clay,
textiles, plastics, polymers and softer
metals.
Cartoon
Gallery : Title says it all
really. A cartoon is a form of
2D illustrated visual art. While the specific
definition has changed over time, modern usage
refers to a typically non-realistic or
semi-realistic drawing or painting intended for
satire, caricature, or humor, or to the artistic
style of such works. A
mobile Phone Logo, freehand promo
sketches, DIY Character designs, a drunken bear,
farm animals, fish, crustaceans, a trio of lab
rats, football club logos, and a slightly
xenoglosic pumpkin. Because of the stylistic
similarities between comic strips and early
animated movies, "cartoon" came to refer to
animation, and the word "cartoon" is currently
used to refer to both animated cartoons and gag
cartoons. While "animation" designates any style
of illustrated images seen in rapid succession
to give the impression of movement, the word
"cartoon" is most often used in reference to TV
programs and short films for children featuring
anthropomorphic animals, superheroes, the
adventures of child protagonists and related
genres..

Works in Progress .
The
Sketchpads :Following
the same format as the galleries,
these scribbles are works in progress
(remedial translation:I haven't
finished them yet), but don't
let that put you off, observing how
the designs develop has at least as
much value as say, watching paint dry
or trying to hit the arse end of a cow
with a banjo.
